The effects of acid rain are most prominent in aquatic environments such as lakes, rivers, creeks and marches. However, acid precipitation is increasingly damaging forest ecosystems through the leeching of soil nutrients and weakening of trees' natural defenses.
An aspiring surgical nurse who seeks a more thorough education might pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a 4-year degree program that includes two years of supervised clinical practice in a hospital or another healthcare facility.
To become a surgical tech, it's usually only a year. I believe it's a certificate program, not a degree. And I recommend that if you know you want to be in the OR and you want to assist with surgery, go for the surgical tech. Nurses have pretty much been phased out from actually assisting the surgeon.
